Hello everyone! Some of you have known me for a while, and you all know how much I absolutely love Steemit. So, in the interests of getting more involved, I've decided to start a witness node!
When I came to Steemit I didn't know diddly squat about blockchains, crypto, or anything else. But I learned.

Special thanks for encouragement, wisdom, and kind words (in no particular order):
I'm dedicated to the Steemit platform, and I want to provide additional stability to the network while also turning what I earn from operating my witness node (above my expenses) to use for the Minnow Support Project. Specifically, I want to continue to grow the Fiction Workshop and build on the foundation for the Steemhouse Fiction Trail. I want to discover new writing talent here and foster creativity, adding value to our community. Above all, I'm in it for the long haul, and I want Steemit to never stop improving.
